Update Thanks to kilianeczka for the heads up, there is even an EASIER easy way to create a constraint using MotionBuilder and Python This omits the need to find the number of constraints and then search all the constraints for one that has the name ‘Parent/Child’.

Using a constraint and animating the weights will do give similar results, but I thought an Animated Align Tool in MotionBuilder would be a fun little...

Here is a list of the classes in which our list will go through: fb.FBSystem().Scene.Constraints fb.FBSystem().Scene.Handles...
